Definitions
- the present invention relates to the repair of a fractured joints.
- the present invention relates to the repair of the shoulder and the elbow. More particularly, the present invention relates to the repair of the glenoid of the shoulder and the coronoid of the elbow. More particularly, the present invention relates to the manufacture of implants for the repair of the glenoid and coronoid.
- the elbow is the joint between the humerus of the upper arm and the ulna and radius in the forearm.
- One of the most common fractures of the elbow involves the coronoid process of the ulna. In the most typical fracture pattern, the coronoid process is severed from the rest of the ulna along the bottom of the trochlear notch. Such fractures are often difficult to repair because the coronoid process is often shattered into many pieces and is very difficult to assemble and return to the original condition.
- the shoulder is the joint between the glenoid and the humerus.
- the glenoid is a half-cup socket wherein the ball of the humerus sits.
- Glenoid and humerus fractures of the shoulder are hard to repair when the bones shatter into many pieces.
- the glenoid or humerus of the shoulder can fracture into many pieces and be very difficult to assemble and return to their original condition.
- anterior shoulder dislocation can involve the soft tissue structures of the labium and capsule and an anterior glenoid scapular bone fracture.
- the capsular injury can occur at the medial (glenoid rim), at the lateral capsular (Humeral-HALL) insertion only, or have a combined capsulolabral injury (Bankart lesion).
- a bone graft such as an iliac crest bone graft fixation or a coracoid transfer (Laterjet/Bristow Procedure), can be used to strengthen the pieces of the fractured bones when they heal.
- Bone grafting falls into three general areas: osteogenic stimulation, osteoconductive stimulation and osteoinductive stimulation.
- Osteogenic stimulation is stimulation of bone growth at the fracture site by transplant of healthy, living bone cells from elsewhere in the body, such as portions of another bone or bone marrow.
- Osteoconductive stimulation uses orthobiologic materials such as ceramics, calcium sulfate compounds, calcium phosphate compounds, hydroxyapatite, deproteinized bone, corals, and polymers. These materials act as a scaffold between the pieces of the fractures bones on which bone cells grow to repair the shoulder and elbow fractures. Osteoinductive stimulation uses chemicals and proteins in the body to stimulate primitive bone stem cells to grow and mature at the fracture site.
- a problem associated with bone graft methods that address recurrent dislocations due to bony defects in the shoulder is that said methods are technically difficult and cause post-traumatic arthritis.
- methods for repair of bony defects of the shoulder that are less difficult and reduce the chance of post-traumatic arthritis.
- Another problem associated with bone graft techniques is that even when bone growth is stimulated, the congruency and consistency of bony articular congruency can be affected. That is, the fractured pieces of bone can heal in an improper form due to an imperfect set by the surgeon and minute movements of the bone pieces and grafts during the healing period. Improper form leads to patient discomfort, joint instability over time, and even arthritis. Thus, there is a need to ensure proper form of the healing bones during the healing period.
- U.S. Patent Publication Serial No. 2006/0069444 describes an augmented glenoid implant that has a first component for attachment to a scapula. A first support surface on the first component cooperates with the glenoid fossa. A second surface of the implant is positioned adjacent a buttress formed in the glenoid fossa. A second component is removably secured to the first component. The second component has an articulating surface opposed to the assembly surface.
- U.S. Patent Publication Serial No. 2003/0055507 describes a modular prosthesis for use with a shoulder implant.
- the prosthesis is attached to the bone by a stem that expands in a bone structure in response to the insertion of a pin.
- a pin When the pin is inserted into the opening of the base and is fully engaged with the open top and hollow interior of the stem, an interference fit is created in the bone because the pin forces the stem to expand inside the void of the bone. This expansion creates a compressive mechanical lock of the prosthesis in the bone.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,593,448 discloses a glenoid implant that has affixation pegs thereon. The pegs are inserted, along with cement, into the holes formed on a surface of the scapula.
- U.S. Pat. No. 4,550,450 discloses a shoulder prosthesis system.
- the articular surface of the humerus and the adjacent glenoid articular surface have a convex surface and a shallow trapezoidal fixation keel.
- the inferior aspect of the acromion is resurfaced with an acromial component for replacement of the acromial clavicular joint.
- U.S. Patent Publication No. 2007/0219638 describes a prosthetic glenoid component for attachment to a scapula.
- the component has a one-piece bearing element having a concave lateral bearing surface for contact with the humeral head.
- An opposing relatively hard medial surface of the bearing element is provided for attachment to the scapula.
- the lateral surface is a soft low modulus concave lateral bearing surface that extends around the periphery of the bearing element and increases its thickness to provide a deformable rim to simulate the labium in an anatomical glenoid.
- the bearing element has a pair of affixation pegs which project from the medial face thereof.
- the present invention is an implant for a joint of the human body and a process of manufacturing the implant.
